Daphne Greig
Daphne Greig began sewing as a young girl, making outfits for her dolls. She made her first quilt in 1980 and has been teaching quilting classes for 20 years. Daphne has co-authored four quilting books and published over 100 quilt patterns. She regularly writes articles for several quilting magazines and travels internationally presenting innovative and entertaining lectures and workshops. She also teaches online at Quilt University (www.quiltuniversity.com). She has been a guest on The Quilt Show with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson and taught at the American Quilter’s Society shows in Paducah and Nashville, the Gulf States Quilting Conference in Louisiana, International Quilt Market in Houston, for numerous guilds and shops and on three quilting cruises. Her work has been exhibited in Canada and the United States. Daphne continually expands her quilting and fibre art skills by attending workshops and experimenting with new techniques in her home studio in North Saanich, British Columbia. http://www.patchworkstudio.com
Cathy Miller
Singer, songwriter, storyteller, teacher and quilter Cathy Miller (the “Singing Quilter”) will once again join Susan and Daphne on her fourth quilting cruise with them. In addition to classes, and a concert with her husband John Bunge, she will also involve quilters’ partners in the fun by stealing them away to a “secret” place on the ship to write a song together. The song will be sung at the final concert. Cathy and John have performed at over 500 quilting events on 3 continents since 2000, and have received many rave reviews for her funny, poignant and historical songs and stories about quilting. http://www.singingquilter.com
Susan Purney Mark
Since taking my first quilting class over 20 years ago, quilting has been a very important part of my life. My studies have included intensive design courses in England and Canada, as well as quilting techniques, history, fibre and dyeing workshops. I encourage quilters, both newcomers and the more experienced, to enjoy the process, to gather as much knowledge as possible and to challenge themselves with new techniques and processes. I have taught classes at basic, intermediate and advanced levels and students have described my classes as informative, fun and inspiring. http://www.patchworkstudio.com
